FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a kind of refill pack, and more particularly to a refill pack that has a pour stuff located inside the pouch circumference. When the pour stuff is torn off from the pouch, it may be used as a funnel, besides, the open space of the torn off pour stuff in the pouch may be used as a carry handle.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

As shown in FIG. 11, a conventional refill pack is in a pouch 40 structure that is hollow inside with appropriate capacity for varieties of contents to be accommodated. Users would have to use scissors to cut a corner out of the pouch 40 to form a diagonal pouch outlet 41, such that the content inside the pouch 40 can be poured out from the pouch outlet 41.

As shown in FIG. 12, practically the conventional way of operation would be that users holding the pouch 40 slantwise on top of a container 30 and positioning the pouch outlet 41 of the pouch 40 to the container inlet 31, the content inside the pouch 40 then would be poured out of the pouch outlet 41 through the container inlet 31 to the container 30. Nevertheless, the conventional way of operation has shortcomings as follows.

Generally container 30 has its container inlet 31 not big enough in size; when a user cuts a bigger pouch outlet 41 on the pouch 40, pouring the content out of the pouch 40 would be easy to spread out to exterior of the container inlet 31, which makes the content spattered, a mess for cleaning and a waste. On the contrary, when the pouch outlet 41 is cut smaller, the content inside the pouch 40 would be uneasy to be poured out.

To resolve the shortcomings in conventional operation mentioned above, some users will use funnel 50. The operation would be to put the funnel 50 inside the container inlet 31 of the container 30 and then hold the pouch 40 slantwise on top of a container 30 as shown in FIG. 13. Thereof, no matter how big or small the pouch outlet 41 of the pouch 40 is cut, it would be easy to pour the content into of the container 30. Nevertheless, the operation of pouring content out of a refill pack 40 to a container 30 is not often happening at home, so the additionally purchased funnel 50 would be set aside most of the time, inconvenience of storage would be raised, and sometimes users would be bothered finding the funnel 50 when it is needed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a kind of refill pack with functions of funnel and carry handle. The refill pack is in a pouch structure that is hollow inside with capacity to accommodate, an easy tear is provided on the pouch and a pouch outlet is formed on the easy tear line. A pour stuff is provided on the pouch, which has a primary side, a secondary side and two lateral sides that form a polygon. The primary side is an inlet of the pour stuff that is bigger than the pouch outlet. The pour stuff has the primary side, the secondary side and the sealed lateral sides connected to the pouch with easy tears, such that the pour stuff is located inside the pouch circumference. When the pour stuff is torn off from the pouch, it may be used as a funnel, besides, the open space of the torn off pour stuff in the pouch may be used as a carry handle.
